It wasnt even loud enough for either me or my partner to hear but I had a coach the other night telling me its illegal and I told him I was not aware of anything in the rulebook indicating it was illegal.

For some reason, the coach made this a very contentious conversation which resulted in a Technical foul later in the game because he couldnt let it go. I am really just looking for peace of mind.

It's an unsporting act. Does the rulebook allow you to punish unsporting acts?
